In this episode of The CyberVault, I’m joined by Bill Moore, CEO & Founder of Xona, to break down what’s really changing in OT and industrial security - and why access has become the biggest risk factor.

OT environments are more connected, more remote, and more targeted than ever. With the release of KuppingerCole’s 2025 Leadership Compass for Secure Remote Access in OT/ICS, Bill walks through the six most important takeaways - not from a vendor lens, but from what CISOs, compliance teams, and OT operators need to focus on now.

We explore:

🏭 Why OT environments look nothing like they did 10 years ago
🔐 Why access - not malware - has become the biggest exposure point
📊 The most important insight from KuppingerCole’s 2025 report
🛡️ How Zero Trust really applies in OT (and where people get it wrong
📜 What CISOs should prioritise around NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and compliance

⚙️ Why deploy ability matters more than promises in real OT network
🔮 The key mindset shift OT leaders need heading into 2026

If you’re responsible for OT access, resilience, or compliance, this episode offers clarity on what actually matters - and what to do next.
